The end of me

The horibile truth

"I'm so sorry to tell you this..." the doctor started.
"Tell me what?"
"Both your parents died in a car wreck..." came the reply.
I burst into tears, why me? Why does everything bad have to happen to me?
"I'm so sorry," the doctor said.
"How did they die?" I asked, the tears were choking me. I could barely make the words out.
"Can you handle it?"
" I have to know."
"Car wreck, both died at impact," came the horrible truth.
"Bye."
I pressed "end call." Then I lost it. My phone fell to the floor as I covered my face with my hands and wept. They were gone. Just like my brother. Dead. I buried my face in my pillow and sobbed into it. Apparently Nat heard me and came running into the room.
"Katie,what's wrong?" she questioned, stroking my back.
"They're dead. Both of them. Probably a drunk driver." I sobbed into her shoulder.
"Oh no Katie! I'm so sorry," Nat said, trying to console me. Nothing helped at all and nothing would. Everyone in my life I loved was gone. My parents. Dead. My brother. Died almost a year ago, In a car crash. I just went through a terrible break up with my boyfriend Josh, and he never let me forget it. About what a loser I was and I did not deserve to date a guy as good as him. That I was a loser and no one would ever date me, or even love me. I was dubbed "ugly" by him and almost all of my school, just because of my breakup with Josh. He dumped me because I would not kiss him. Yep that is why. I am a non kisser. Never kissed a guy, and won't until my wedding day. Sure I'm constantly teased about it but, I don't care. It's one of the only things I still have, that someone hasn't taken from me. Everything came crashing down since my brother was first diagnosed. First my brother's death, then my best friend Callie moved, to California. Then my breakup and now my parents are dead. What else could possibly be taken away from me? I wept into my best friend's shoulder as these thoughts ran through my head.
"Listen Katie, something good will come out of this, I just know it! It'll get better, I promise," She soothed.
"How? I will never get my family back and I will never be able to live down those comments at school! I have NO living relatives, I'll probably go to a foster home or something and I don't want that! I'm only seventeen , where could I go?" I wept.
"Well, for now you can live with me, my parents love you like I do, they won't throw you out into the streets," Nat said. I lifted my face up for the first time, tears streaming down my face, outlined with mascara and eye shadow.
"Thanks, Nat, you're all I have right now," I said, hugging her. She hugged me back.
"Hungry?" she questioned.
"You know it!" I replied, sniffling and trying to wipe away my tears.
"Well let's go get pizza," Nat said. "But first, fix your makeup girl, I don't want to be seen with the Joker!"
"Aww thanks, love you too," I replied with a laugh. I removed all my makeup, wiped away all my tears and put on my favorite cardigan. Sure I looked and felt like a bum but you know who cares? Not me anyways and Nat didn't seem to mind, knowing what all I've been through. I slid my feet into my favorite boots and grabbed my purse. I braided my hair quickly and I hopped into Natalie's car. She drove me to go get pizza in Mullingar. After we parked in the parking lot of my favorite pizza place, we started walking in and I ran into some blond guy.
